[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
no probs...take your time, and post when you can about what you did and if it worked, as a lot of people are puzzled about these new directory structures that show up on our phones now, when you load/unload 4.2.2 AOSP roms..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankeesfan714:
Well I know for sure when I came back from asylum I had to copy the 0 contents manually to system after flashing from asylum to jedi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankeesfan714:
Ok. In data/user/0 I deleted com.pandora.android and pandora FCd then I rebooted and the file was recreated in data/user/0/com.pandora.android
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
there is a file you flash when going from 4.2 AOSP roms back to 4.1 stuff that is supposed to restore your directory structures, but, if you forget to do it one time, and then try to use it later, it doesn't seem to do anything..

no biggie, as you see, as long as you keep track of where your stuff might go, and, as before you can try to delete duplicates and see if your current rom is working properly.

here is that file for anyone who wants to try it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankeesfan714:
So in theory I could flash an aosp rom and then flash another rom then flash this zip with the fix?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Woody:
Hey I was running through this forum cleaning up some posts and came across your thread. Thought I would drop this here for you to check more about the new file structure. Granted it is in the SGS3 section, but principles are the same.

Android 4.2.x File Structure Thread

Wase ~ I might check out that zip that you posted above. Care to point me to where you found it? Seems very, very handy thing to have, but I would want to look into it more as I have an SGS3 and not a NoteII.

I'm a Mod, so people generally don't like me but for anyone who still might, this'll surely push you over the edge. Go Yanks!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] wase4711:
in theory, yes, after flashing a 4.2.2 rom, and you want to go back to anything 4.1, you would flash that zip file after flashing the 4.1 rom, but before you reboot...

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 AM ----------

I found it a while ago in one of the CM10.1 threads..probably Madmacks..

the problem with it is that if you don't do it EVERY time you go back to 4.1 stuff, it doesn't do anything the next time you try it..

Might just be my phone, but that's how it went for me..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jbeef86:
yeah wase4711 is correct. Thats where I saw it originally in the 10.1CM Nightly thread in this ATT Note II forum.

I did it the correct way that wase and Madmack posted but never checked to see if it did anything. Never really paid attention. Went from CR to CM10.1 to Rootbox then back to CR then flashed that. Nothing bad happened but I dont really trip off gigs since I have 64 in my external.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankeesfan714:
It seems to work like it is supposed to. It puts my main storage back in storage/sdcard0 after returning to a TW rom.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faunotod:

Have tried everything, clearing data, uninstalling, but nothing works.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Renkaken:
I need some help, in the morning I dropped my Huawei U8150 IDEOS and since then the screen has not responded, although the hardware buttons (call and end buttons, volume control) and "trackball" is still working.

Is there a way to disable the touch screen (I can't get pass through it with the hardware buttons) while I find a way to fix the screen?

I'm using CM7.2, I was also wondering how to remap the call and end buttons

Thanks in advance
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Springy_Minaj:
So this morning I flashed the latest version of Vanilla Rootbox AOKP, and about 2 hours into my day I noticed the battery was already at 85% and the screen time was only at about 20 minutes. I dont have a screenshot of battery statistics because my phones currently dead at the moment but when I took a look right before it died, the "Phone" application was responsible for using 45% of the battery and allocated a CPU total of about 4 hours and 30 minutes....I only talked on the phone for 15 minutes today.

Has this happened to anyone else? I didn't change up my flashing routine or anything, did a complete wipe before I installed the new ROM like I normally do so I find this really odd.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
Maybe I am missing something but I can't get the autocorrect feature on any of my keyboards (including Swiftkey) to work inside S-Notes.

Did Samsung design this to actually disable any autocorrect on any keyboard? Why would they do that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] mitchellvii:
Wow, 149 views and no one has any idea?

Is it actually possible that Samsung has intentionally disabled autocorrect by ANY keyboard in S-Notes? I love Samsung hardware but on the software side they continually make choices which confound. It's not that they write bad software. It's that they seem to PURPOSEFULLY make choices which harm the user. For instance, how hard would it be to give users the ability to create and save their own templates? How about typing styles? It would be incredibly simple yet they choose not to.

I am beginning to think Samsung hired the same guy who decided getting rid of the Start Button in Windows 8 was a brilliant idea to run their software development as well.

** Or it could be that Samsung's idea of "Customer Feedback" is an utterly lame Facebook page that looks like it is manned by high school students? They don't even have Forums for God's sake! S-Notes could have been a OneNote killer yet they just sort of said, "Nah, let's make it suck instead..."

Frustrated. S-Notes has been out for a while now and apparently they have no intention of improving it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
I never looked into it because I don't like autuocorrect. But I would checked either in the keyboard or language settings. It's probably something you just need to turn on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndroidStephen:
I guess I'm not understanding exactly what you want. I use the stock Samsung keyboard and the Kii keyboard from the play store and they both have the suggested words pop up and try to correct my spelling when I either type things out using the keyboard or use the s pen in handwriting mode using the s note app. I'm on stock deodexed MA7. What are you wanting it to do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] lovekeiiy:
he wants autocorrect where it automatically makes corrections even if he doesn't use the suggested words.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jetset:
Same here!... I thought Swiftkey would mend this problem, but it DIDN'T !!!!

So only in S-Note even Swiftkey refuses to give suggestions and/ or autocorrection.

I'm really angry, 'cause I sort of planned on using it.

But since it already got on my nerves, that I constantly had to change from drawing mode to keyboard input whenever I opened a note, although the pen was not drawn(!), it's probably time to look into another app.

[General Questions and Answers] shaheen_aigle:
I tried Nokia lumia first time yesterday. I tried to download an exe from Internet but it failed and said that file cannot be downloaded as this type of file is not supported by windows phone. I like to many downloads on my phone rather than computer( just lazy to go to my notebook for it, I can do it in my android while I am in bed or on couch in front of tv and later transfer to my notebook for testing). It,s so easy with android. It is not trouble free with iPhone but still there is some way to download these files and keep them on iPhone and then transfer to laptop via some apps( infact this I'd one reason I almost hate iPhone, too restricted applications sandboxing). Now I do like windows phone user interface but it seems it has gone on step ahead of iPhone in sandboxing and restrictions. You can,t download a lot of unsupported file types. I wonder if there is any work around? Thanks

[AT&T LG Optimus G] dvdbabcock:
I wonder if its possible to get a port of Ubuntu phone from the nexus 4 to the OG.

And if so would you have to have the nexus conversion done.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
Just convert....and install it
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cclark1894:
I did this earlier today, and Ubuntu touch looks promising. It's no where near ready for daily use though. But that is to be expected with a developer preview.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
I honestly can't wait until a full release is out.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] cclark1894:
+ a million
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonJoel:
Really? I really don't see anything in Ubuntu for phones to get very excited about...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Dr0!dFreek:
....that's your personal opinion. I think that Ubuntu for phones will essentially be more powerful than android and will bring a variety of new possibilities to the table along with a cool new interface. The only negative thing I could think of is not being able to use android apps.

Wait lol was that sarcasm?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] JasonJoel:
New interface may be fun to tinker with I guess. The phone ecosystem is all about the apps, though.

All I see is a potentially more bloated os, much worse power management, less apps, etc. But I may be completely wrong. :)

Regardless it will be interesting to see if this and mozilla's phone os end up being worth a crap.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] danielholm:
Hi guys,

If you're, like me, greatly excited to get Ubuntu Touch onto your phone, and/or tablet, here is a guide to port it!

It helps you get started on a port:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting

Also:

This is not a thread for eta:s for your device port. Nor is it a thread to ask for a port. Both of which you'll have to go to each device's own forum.

This is a thread for discuss ports, get help on them and to share experiences.

For Ubuntu Touch specific questions, see other threads.

FAQ:

Can you port device X?; Ask in your device X's forum. Or even better, try it yourself! It's not that hard, actually. See link above.

Does Ubuntu Touch run Android Apps?; No.

Will it?; Maybe. If anyone cares to actually make it work.

Do I need to have X; run Y; or do Z?; Check the Port guide! https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] Markk29:
Everyone with a nexus needs to install Ubuntu and then show everyone they know how in it's current state it is unusable except as a test device for apps.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] danielholm:
Sv: Port Ubuntu Touch

Well, it is a dev release for developers and Ubuntu enthusiasts, so they probably already run Ubuntu. And if not, it's a 20 min install.

And porting it is still a large project by itself, so it'll go nicely hand in hand until the stable release of Touch, I think.

can i ask a question?what mean ubuntu is based on cm10.1?by which meaning?ubuntu i quess it will be an OS by itshelf.why based on cm10.1?
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] edy_3dz:
Because some of the Android components are reused. Read here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Porting#General
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] fromanbr:
Ubuntu is a distro. Linux is an OS. Android is kind of a distro too.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] 4llerbuntu:
Actually pending when canonical gets to compile drivers for particular phones which incidentally is probably going to be for only their oem devices, they use the cm base.

Essentially just the drivers and hal layer.

Its not based on CM. It takes advantage of CM base. Its direct ubuntu.

And from what iv seen you can forget about lag. The alpha is awesome compared with android alphas
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] termagazis:
yes i have read this but my english isnt perfect so i maybe didnt understant something.so because ubuntu and android are based in Linux kernel,they taking some stuff "ready" for more easyness.something like that?
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] blackout23:
Phones need drivers like your PC does and a kernel which acts as interaface between the hardware and the operating system.

Everyphone uses its own vendor supplied kernel with some modifaction and their own graphics driver. So they use the low-level stuff that already exists for Ubuntu.

You can't just make one "OS" for a smartphone that just works on all devices it has to be ported to the specific hardware (kernel and driver).
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] termagazis:
thats what i mean.so they took the allready existing stuff from cm10.1 because it will work with ubuntu (or with some small changes) because both OS are based on Linux kernel.i understand right?
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] TingTingin:
Ubuntu is a distro or distribution which is a OS Linux isn't a OS it's a kernel (the underlying framework kinda like the glue) :)

[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] BukaKing:
Wikipedia says Linux is an unix like OS, but the main component is the Linux Kernel. Android only uses the Linux Kernel and not so much the GNU system tools which make it unix like, that is why people generally don't refer to android as a Linux distro.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] TingTingin:
But saying it like that makes it sound like u can use this as a Mac OS or Windows replacement which I think is what he was asking

I never said android was a Linux distro :confused:

[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] BukaKing:
You didn't say android was a Linux distro but he did, I was just adding to the conversation.

I think I may understand what you're thinking though. Mac and Windows are not open source and you cant build your own version, so they are not as comparable in that sense, they are binary distributions. But you can build your own Linux configured the way you want outside of any distro, a distro is just a packaged version of Linux with additional packages and configurations.

[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] MikeCriggs:
Actually, Linux is a clone of the UNIX kernel. Ubuntu is an operating system (or Linux distribution) with a Linux kernel. Android could be considered a Linux distribution as well, even though it's mostly Java stacks on top of a Linux kernel.

I need a place to start looking for digging in further.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] IconRunner:
I really can't help you much, but I read somewhere that you have to have CM 10.1 installed before flashing the Ubuntu stuff. Might be worth a try?
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] f69m:
Well, I am actually running on top of CM 10.1, but thanks for answering.

My gut feeling tells me it is something in the communication between the Android base and the Ubuntu container. But have not found any docs giving details on that. I guess I have to go to the one and only documentation that is always correct and complete - the source code. ;)

Probably will start with the Ubuntu platform API tomorrow, as it is getting late here in Europe.

Login via SSH without WLAN

Just wrote a guide, how to log in via SSH, while WLAN is not working yet:

https://github.com/f69m/ubuntu-touch-tf300t/wiki/Use-SSH-Login-without-WLAN

Logging in via SSH is necessary to access /proc and run tools like ps, as the login via adb and ubuntu_chroot is not running in the Ubuntu kernel container.

In a nutshell: download packages manually, push via adb, install via adb shell, forward TCP over adb to log in.

Has anyone been able to fix the "one pixel in the upper left" bug? The entire screen is black except for the (0,0) pixel which seems to be changing color and working fine.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] rycus86:
If you have adb access and you can issue the 'ubuntu_chroot shell' command then try this before starting ubuntu-session: mount -t proc proc /proc

IIRC I had to do this to get something to display.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] f69m:
Well, yes, "something" is displayed. You will see the Android view of processes. The Ubuntu view is a little different, as Ubuntu is running in a kernel container with a different pid namespace. For example Android init (pid 1) is a different process from Ubuntu init (also pid 1).

If you really want to see the Ubuntu view, I can't see a way around using SSH to login.
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] KalleEatingBrain:
Let´s work together.

Hi f69m,

I am experiencing the same, even though my screen worked on the first build (22.2.2013). I added your How-To-Build Page to the Ubuntu wiki, if you already have a "working" zip available for download please add it or tell me the link and I will. I have made few more improvements to the kernel and patched against the original cyanogenmod code. Also I am working on a alternated phablet-flash script. Meet me on the Ubuntu-Touch mailing list so we can possibly join forces (sources?).

https://github.com/f69m/ubuntu-touch-tf300t/wiki/Use-apt-get-without-WLAN
[Ubuntu Touch Ports to Android] skyFx:
manufacturer = htc

codename = endeavoru

so your manifest.xml should have something like this in it:

<project path="device/htc/endeavoru" name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_endeavoru" remote="github" revision="refs/heads/cm-10.1" />

<project path="kernel/htc/endeavoru" name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_endeavoru" remote="github" revision="refs/heads/cm-10.1" />
